Expanding Lung Volume Reduction Surgery Indications: Outcomes in Patients Beyond Conventional National Emphysema Treatment Trial Criteria Open
Objectives Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is guided by strict selection criteria from the National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT) to minimize risk and optimize outcomes. However, emerging evidence suggests that rigid cutoffs may ex…

Surgical lung volume reduction eligibility in an emphysema patient pool referred for endoscopic treatment Open
Purpose Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) and bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) are effective treatments for certain patients with severe emphysema. However, treatment access varies across centres, as not all provide both treat…

Two-year Results of Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Using One-Way Endobronchial Valves: Real-World Single Center Data Open
Follow-up data of a real-world setting show maintained benefits of bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with endobronchial valves up to 2 years after treatment, for patients of whom the valves are still in situ. A potential survival benefit…

Widening the selection criteria for lung volume reduction surgery Open
Severely hyperinflated patients with a heterogeneous morphology could be considered for lung volume reduction surgery when surpassing the upper limit criteria for FEV(1) and 6MWD, resulting in significant clinical benefits with minimal pos…

Donor-Specific Blood Transfusion in Lung Transplantation Open
Lung transplantation is still hindered by a high rate of chronic rejection necessitating profound immunosuppression with its associated complications. Donor-specific blood transfusion is a pre-transplant strategy aimed at improving graft a…

Lung transplantation following controlled hypothermic storage with a portable lung preservation device: first multicenter European experience Open
Introduction Compared with traditional static ice storage, controlled hypothermic storage (CHS) at 4–10°C may attenuate cold-induced lung injury between procurement and implantation. In this study, we describe the first European lung trans…

Surgical and bronchoscopic pulmonary function-improving procedures in lung emphysema Open
COPD is a highly prevalent, chronic and irreversible obstructive airway disease without curative treatment. Standard therapeutic strategies, both non-pharmacological and pharmacological, have only limited effects on lung function parameter…

Complications related to extracorporeal life support in lung transplantation: single-center analysis Open
ECLS was required in 22% of LTxs, with a reported ECLS-related complication rate of 67%, of which the most common was hemothorax. Larger databases are needed to further analyze complications and develop tailored deployment strategies for E…

Simultaneous Lung-abdominal Organ Procurement From Donation After Circulatory Death Donors Reduces Donor Hepatectomy Time Open
Background. Prolonged organ procurement time impairs the outcome of donation after circulatory death (DCD) and liver transplantation (LiT). Our transplant team developed a simultaneous, rather than sequential, lung-abdominal organ explanta…

Lung Transplant Outcome From Selected Older Donors (≥70 Years) Equals Younger Donors (<70 Years) Open
Objective: To describe our experience with lung transplantation (LTx) from donors ≥70 years and compare short and long-term outcomes to a propensity-matched cohort of donors <70 years. Background: Although extended-criteria donors have bee…
